To mark the second International Yoga Day on June 21, visually impaired students from the city organised a Yog Utsav on Saturday. Some 35 students participated in the event. Ms. Nisha Thakker, who has been teaching visually impaired students for the past 15 years, and the brain behind the event, said: “Yoga helps visually impaired children in more ways than one. It not only helps them increase their self-confidence, but also helps them keep mental and physical balance as yoga is all about balancing postures.” The students performed many difficult yoga postures.
